The beer weekend starts now

A couple of these events are sold out, but there are plenty of other opportunities to get out and enjoy good brew and good company this weekend. And by “weekend,” I mean the part of the week that starts tonight.

A few highlights, in chronological order:

TONIGHT (Wednesday, June 23)

Beer class, 6:30-8 p.m. at Spec’s, 2410 Smith. Learn about the “4 basic elements of beer” in a free class taught this evening led by beer category manager Justin Cody of Spec’s. Call for reservations, 713-526-8787.

Camp Beer III: This is another SOLD-OUT event, but it’s still worth noting that the Live It BIG folks have found enough support for these periodic tastings of hard-to-find beers that they expanded the guest list to 60. If you missed out this time, keep checking here for news about the next one and act quickly.
